Towson may be the first offer for junior DB Dominique Lemon (5-10 170) of Blythewood. Lemon speaks with the Tigers coaching staff regularly and says Towson is showing a lot of interest. "I definitely think they'll be the first to offer," Lemon said. "They're telling me how much they like me and how I would be a good fit there." Lemon plans to visit the school in October. "I've been to Baltimore once and I love the area," he said. "It's a big city so there are a lot of opportunities after you graduate." Other schools showing interest in Lemon include Indiana, Auburn, Charlotte, Clemson and Virginia Tech. He says Indiana is showing the most interest of these schools sending him mail every day. His most recent visit was to Auburn last week. "I went to the Mississippi State (versus Auburn) game and I really liked the environment," he said. "It blew me away. They invited me down so I went. I had to leave early so I didn't really get to talk to the coaches afterwards. I think they're starting to show some interest." This past summer, Lemon took several visits to include Clemson. "I grew up liking Clemson so I liked the whole football tradition, the campus, the facilities...stuff like that," Lemon said. He did not name a leader.
